Watch NOVA on PBS tonight!

Hopefully, you'll get the same feed we are scheduled for, regarding cuttlefish, squids, etc. It's amazing what these critters can do!

Cool! Lately there have been lots of the "ScienceNOW", which is good... but its better to have more depth which can be offered by the full time of the show.

Are you referring to the episode where the scientist is decipering the communication modes of the squids? The only mode apparently is light patterns .
 
Similar to the 2024 thread, here I start the 2025 thread. As always it is getting increasingly difficult to predict, so I will make a list based on other article predictions. You can also leave your prediction here. Here are the predictions of 2024 that did not make it: Peter Shor, David Deutsch and all the rest of the quantum computing community (various sources) Pablo Jarrillo Herrero, Allan McDonald and Rafi Bistritzer for magic angle in twisted graphene (various sources) Christoph...
Thread 'My experience as a hostage'
I believe it was the summer of 2001 that I made a trip to Peru for my work. I was a private contractor doing automation engineering and programming for various companies, including Frito Lay. Frito had purchased a snack food plant near Lima, Peru, and sent me down to oversee the upgrades to the systems and the startup.
